What an astounding steel guitarist , Buddy Emmons.

He plays with such patience. It creates a feeling that just floats in the air.

There will never be another pedal steel player with the exquisite taste that Buddy has. Thanks to the people who put the effort in to upload these videos and to the copyright owners for allowing their footage to be broadcast..... AND thank goodness for KZread, so we can all enjoy the greats all over the world.

The world’s foremost steel guitarist. What fool would downvote this ?

No matter what brand guitar he is playing, or where he is playing....The tone, and sound is the same, there was and always never be but one Buddy Emmons. RIP

Sho Bud has a unique sound but sooner or later you'll have to work and renew the undercarriage where the Emmons push pull is a walk unto it's own. I use a GFI simply because I have no dealers or instructors within 200 miles and GFI is

Almost all of the world's GREATEST pedal steel players on one stage at the same time. What a great job by Mr Emmons. Never be another.

There have been - and still are - hundreds of fabulous steel players. Yet, close your eyes and listen to 100 of them, and you just know when it’s Buddy Emmons. His tone floats. It’s ethereal. To me, he was in a class of one.

Ethereal is a good word to describe his playing. It certainly transports you to a higher plane. Like all great art, it has a spiritual component.

Fiddles and guitars might give Country Music it's 'Identity' but the Steel Guitar gives it "soul" and to have the greatest player doing his own song is breathtaking. R.I.P. Big "E".

He also gave jazz its identity too.

I remember Buddy's right foot coming through to work the pedals, next to the left foot. And like he could do anything in his sleep. And after death, he can still bring up my tears.

Buddy, simply beautiful❤

Well you got to love that intro. I have listened to this over and over. Will never get tired of the pros playing pedal steel.

Without going into detail, I'm soon to cross that Rainbow Bridge myself, but I take strength from the fact that I saw this 'God' of the steel guitar perform live. I also have his autograph. RIP....

Buddy Emmons is to steel what Buddy Rich was to drums. No one can replicate his sound. We'll miss you Big E.

Except Buddy Rich was an insufferable arrogant man who hated country music , he famously said in hospital when the nurse asked him if he was allergic to anything he said Country Music. He didn't survive the operation.....God loves country music. :-)

Don’t agree I liked Ralph Mooney better.

Beautiful playing and Singing!! :: CHILLS ::

Beautiful. His playing is divine. The legato is wonderful. The harmonies are heavenly. The notes flow like honey.

thanks for sharing Marcel.

He is the Legend , the best of the best ! His notes are emotional . They seemed blending to the voice of singer . A perfect harmony !

Laney Hicks gives me chills IM in LOVE with her she is beautiful in my eyes and her singing is of the hook

Talk about captivating an audience!

EVERYBODY shuts up when E plays. Don Helms looking on.

Great sound and singer !

Buddy and Laney - it just does not get any better!

No one better he set the bar high.....

Any steel guitar players in Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois, Ohio or Michigan should comment below, step forward and be counted. I play this music but can hardly ever find good steel players, and would be privileged to hire you in the future. Thanks very much! BTW Buddy's albums w/ Danny Gatton are the most outrageously incredible playing I've ever heard, if you're not hip to those albums, go buy them.

Wow, I can play it, but not with Buddy,s touch...he was #1 & always will be!!!

God I love this song, they are good together in this.

thanks Marcel for that JEWELL...

Marcel.. (Buddy Emmons),..Great my friend!!

1:13 and 4:15 is an institution for all of us!!!🔥🔥

Like butter….

Check out his playing on "Each Time" by Ray Price. Unbelievably stunning.

My father was hugely influenced by mr Buddy Emmons. Check out Gary Holton & Casino Steel with "Goodnight Irene". I think he nailed that one pretty hard :D RIP dad, hope you're playing with Buddy somewhere as we speak.
